GOING TO THE LIMITS OF YOUR LONGING. Joy

Joy is a contribution by writer, curator and educator Barbara Casavecchia. In this episode, she speaks about artist Alex Martinis Roe’s research into a genealogy of feminist political practice and her video A story from Circolo della Rosa (2014). Thereby she includes excerpts from Becoming Public Among Ourselves (2018), her own text on the artist’s work. The Episode is part of the series Going to the Limits of Your Longing, Research as Another Name for Care, a collection of episodes emerged from the Master Symposium held in spring 2021 at the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK FHNW in Basel. The contributions to the symposium were devoted to ideas and forms of artistic research that center art as a practice in service of the social. They revisit certain moments in our recent history and present of researching, producing, and exhibiting art in the name of such beliefs, namely social justice.

Om Podcasten

Promise No Promises is a podcasts series produced by the Center for Gender and Equality, a research project of the Institute Art Gender Nature FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel, conceived as a think tank tasked to assess, develop, and propose new social languages and methods to understand the role of gender in the arts, culture, science, and technology, as well as in all knowledge areas that are interconnected with the field of culture today. The podcast series originates from a series of symposia initiated in October 2018 in Basel and moderated by Chus Martínez and Quinn Latimer. Part of the Gender’s Center for Excellency, the symposia and the podcasts are the public side of this research project aimed to develop different teaching tools, materials and ideas to challenge the curricula, while creating a sphere where to meet, discuss, and foster a new imagination of what is still possible in our fields.
